Stephen Davies Joins Liberty and Power
Let's all type in a round of applause to the newest member of the L and P fraternity: Stephen Davies, a professor of history at Manchester University.
It has been my pleasure to work alongside Steve in several venues, most notably seminars sponsored by the Cato Institute and the Institute for Humane Studies. As a scholar, he is a renaissance man of the first rank. He is one of the knowledgable people I know, whether the question at hand concerns the Sung dynasty or the history of Middle Eastern religions. He has written extensively on the private provision of services in Britain such as police, fire protection, and welfare, British individualist feminism, and the development of markets in urban history.
His books include A Dictionary of Conservative and Libertarian Thought (with Nigel Ashford) and
Empiricism and History (Theory and History)
